    Losing at home to the last place team in the conference in the playoffs 2 years in a row will do that to our fickle fans. Never mind that the two years before that were capped with NCAA appearances and a win.

    It's hard to imagine that a team that tied Northeastern and shutout Providence could go 2-5-1 in the regular season against the bottom 4 teams in Atlantic Hockey and then lose a series in 3 games against the last place team.

      Bentley also had a decent OOC record, going 3-2-1, but went 2-3 in their last five regular season games, sending them on the road to RMU to lose two of three.

        My understanding of the rules - such as they are - is that making the semi-final of your league final disqualifies you from the BF tourney. So I think they have to win the series.

        Winning 1 game might move you down a bit, and since WMU is already #13, that might be enough.

          Western is #12. Winning one could bump them. Miami is #4, so they'd have to sweep to be removed.

            How is a team that is knocking on 20th in PWR (WMU) in consideration?

              They finished in last place. Is that not the definition of a bottom feeder?

Many of us have a tattoo waiting in the wings, WHEN (not IF) the Gophers are champions again.

                And according to tournament bylaws, last place in the conference gets automatic placement in SHOTS.

                  Ya big silly, we don't use PWR here. That's for that "other" tournament. Here we use SHirtless Opinions on Teams that Suck, or SHOTS.

                    Even if they pull off an upset in the first round?

                        An upset in the first means they get shuffled out.

                          Western is definitely in, and Miami has dropped a couple spots so far.

                            Miami lost. BIG teams can't lose anymore. Final SHOTS should be up by Tuesday.

                                8. Niagara

                                16. RIT

                                For seeding, if another committee member wanted to handle it, this is what I do:

                                South is 1 v 16, 8 v 9
                                West is 2 v 15, 7 v 10
                                East is 3 v 14, 6 v 11
                                Midwest is 4 v 13, 5 v 12

                                And as I have time and creativity, small write-ups will come out. Last year, I was only able to give scores.
